As we are coming up on Mother's Day, this short blog is especially for all you moms out there who put yourselves on the back burner and tirelessly take care of your families. You may be up to your ears in laundry, have food stuck in your hair from lunch, or feel like a taxi service between all your kid's activities, but as the mother of your children, you are irreplaceable. Only you can nurture and care for them as a mother does, understanding their needs even when they are unable to tell you. You offer the first glimpse into the existence of a Savior King as you demonstrate the tender mercy and loving kindness that comes straight from the Father's heart. You exude strength, exercise patience, and give comfort like no one else on earth can. You are a maid, a referee, a teacher, a chef, a driver, and a counselor, just to name a few, and you take on most of these roles all before 9 a.m. in your PJs.
Keep up the good work, moms. Never underestimate how God is using you in the lives of your kids, even when you don't see any evidence of it. Find your rest in your time with the Lord and let Him be your strength. He will give you wisdom if only you ask (James 1:5). You are leaving an imprint on your children, and my prayer for you is that is that you would know how loved and valued you are by a Sovereign God who entrusted your little blessings to you. He picked YOU to care for, instruct, discipline, and love your children. May you be reminded every day how important your "job" as Mom really is. Never let anyone undervalue your role in your home or make you feel insignificant. You are impacting little lives for the Kingdom...and I can't think of anything more significant than that.
Galatians 6:9- "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper tie we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
